One of the many things I love about being part of the sewing blogger community are the swaps.  I’m always blown away by the talent and inventiveness out there, and what a great way to find new blogs to read.

My ‘giving’ partner for the 2015 Secret Valentine Exchange was Jeannie, and look what she sent me!

A pot holder made from the most gorgeous fabrics, facial oil (smells amazing), a cute felted mushroom, and a drawing of our beloved Hetty!

We collect drawings of dogs,  so this looks perfect on the wall.

I love everything, but I think you can guess my favourite gift!

And this was the gift I made for my other swap partner, Lena

Thank you to Sanae and Ute for organising, it’s been such fun.  You can see more on Instagram using #2015sve.
